Artist — Rimmi Srivastav… playing Raavi in the show ‘RAAVI’ aired on BIG MAGIC every Monday — Friday at 7pm.
RAAVI is a light entertainment show about a little girl called Raavi whose mother takes a dramatic life decision to disguise her as a boy, due to peculiar circumstances. While Raavi’s true identity is hidden, in the larger interest of safeguarding villagers as well as her own family’s stakes, it initiates an extremely interesting cat and mouse game cleverly handled by little Raavi who plays dual roles dexterously. The show evokes curiosity about why a mother would make a choice of this kind for her own child! With a novel story plot and a child in the center of it playing dual roles, the show is sure to take audiences on an enjoyable entertainment experience.

Taurus productions had called me when they organized auditions for the show. I was very confident during the audition and it went very well. They must have liked the way I said my lines because they chose me to play Raavi. I’m very excited to play this role and I’m so glad that they chose me.
- What is your role in this serial? Please explain it in detail.
I play Raavi, a young girl who has to pretend to be a boy due to some circumstances in her life. The show is about the journey of her life and the fun she has in her dual role. The show airs Monday to Friday at 7pm on Big Magic. Raavi is a fun loving and bindaas girl. She is very smart. Though she is very young, she understands why she has to disguise like a boy. I am having great fun playing both roles. I think everyone is going to love watching the mischievous Raavi and Ravinder.

Playing both roles is fun and different. My role in the show is very important, a big role, so I have to work hard to learn my lines and manners but I’m having great fun playing both a boy and a girl. The director and cast are very supportive. The make-up uncle also does a great job on me — they are very quick.
